I have writtem a program in C using the graPHIGS API (on our
IBM RS/6000 model 730). But since there's only one IBM over here
(except for two RTs and a few PCs) and besides me everyone else 
has a SUN (most SUN4s) with X11R5, I would like to share my programming
efforts with some other people and translate my (volume modeling)
program from graPHIGS to PEX.

Is this possible? Is there some automated way (eg. graPHIGS2pex)?
Or are there too many differences (apart from the fact that our
RS/6000-730 has special graPHIGS hardware, whereas the SUNs are
just plain 8-bit pseudocolor machines)?

Every info on this subject is welcome.

Marcel.
